tween the Liberals and ParneIlites was
based on the Liberal recognition of the
fact that the wisest policy in Irish affairs
lay in the acceptance of some form of Irish
government which would tend to satisfy
the Irish people. He twitted Lord Ran
dolph Churchill and Mr.. Chamberlain
with having recently consulted Mr.. Parnell,
seeking to make an alliance with him for
their own purposes Referring to the
conspiracy and Whiteboy clauses of the
proposed act, Sir William declared that
r they Slapped the foundation of all personal
liberty, and would even debar Irishmen
from forming business combinations to de-
fend their existing rights. The spirit in
which the Government would administer
the coercion act if it were passed was suf-
fciently shown in the appoint
ment of Colonel King Hartman to
the Parliamentary Under secretary
ship for Ireland. By this appointment the
Government had declared itself to be a
partisan of the landlords, and determined
to administer the bill as the agent of the
land owners In Ireland, thus becoming an
Instrument to stimulate the worst passions
of the people and their bitterest religious
prejudices. The bill would fail to suppress
the Irish National League, because the
people of Ireland believed in the League
and trusted 1t. The effect of the enforce
ment of the bill would be to make the
Government more detested and the League
more popular than ever.
As to the Tory and Liberal Union taunts
about American gold fostering Irish dis
content, Sir William Vernon Harcourt
said: There are none who have less reason
to complain of American gold than the
Irish landlords, for none get more of it.
They get through it their poor tenants
rents
The proposal to make the bill permanent
Sir William characterized as a breach of
the fundamental conditions of the union
between Ireland and Great Britain. The
Government professed to reverence this
union, but was doing its best to violate it.
If the Government earnestly desired to
maintain the union, let 1t abandon the
policy of exasperating the Irish people and
adopt the policy Of justice and cOncili-
alton. TCheers
Major Saunderson Conservative said
the National League was supported mainly
by the criminals, dynamiters and muir
derers across the Atlantic. He did not
charge the gentlemen opposite with i'm
br1ing their hands in blood, but he did
charge them with associating with men
whom they knew to be murderers.
Mr.. Healy rose to point of order.
The Speaker replied that Major Saunder-
son had made the gravest of charges, but
these could be met in debate. He himself
was unable 70 interfere.
Mr.. Healy responded that he would say
what he thought of Saunderson, regardless
of consequences. If Ms jor Saunderson re-
ferred to him he had no hesitation in say
ing that SaunGerson was liar.
This remark was greeted with rousing
ParnelIite cheers.
The Speaker called upon Mr.. Healy to
withdraw the expression.
Mr.. Healy replied: Il am not entitled
to rise until you sit down."
The cheering was renewed and the
Speaker resumed the chair.
Mr.. Heal7 again took the floor and said:
- am only able to mset the charge in
one way If you rule Major Saunderson in
order my expression is equally in order.
IL you rule him out Of order | shall with
draw my expression"
The Spesker-Thats not so. Major
Saunderson made q charge OF the gravest
nature. The responsibility rests entirely
with himself. 1t is his duty to prove it if
he can cheers, but l can not allow the
expression you used.
Mr. Healy repeated that Major Sander
son was a liar. a great uproar arose and
the Speaker again called upon Mr.. Healy
to withdraw. Mr.. Healy refused. The
Speaker thereupon named him, and w. Fl
Smith First Lord OF the Treasury,

cries of withdraw" Withdraw"
Mr, Sexton, interrupting, asked whether

or would he withdraw it.
Major SaI.nderson replied that Sheridan

Mr.. Sexton-Did / know him TO be

Major Saunderson-I said Sheridan wa
on the committee, and against him a tru
bill was found for completely in tn
Pr Ce7'x Park murders. The committe
